dupe foldernames

Post by data »

I've tested a lot of things, but how can i find duplicate Foldernames?

The Folder "test3" exists three times in this path. How can i find only the exact Foldernames which exist multiple times?

dupe: will not work with a path search.
dupe: finds duplicated results in the ENTIRE index (not the current results)
leer is showing in your results because there is another leer foldername in your index.

For Everything 1.4, you will first need to create a file list of D:\double folder: and then perform your dupe: search:
  • In Everything, type in the following search:
    d:\double\ folder:
  • From the File menu, click Export....
  • Change Save as type to: EFU Everything File List
  • Choose a filename and click Save.
  • From the File menu, click Open File List....
  • Choose your EFU file list from above and click Open.
  • Type in the following search:
    dupe:
When you are done with the results, close the file list:
  • From the File menu, click Close File List..
